Summary |
This text focuses on research procedures in toxicology, aiming to illustrate toxicological concepts and types of toxicity from a mechanistic point of view. Mechanistic research in toxicology leads not only to a greater understanding of the biology involved, but also the means to design substances with selectivity between species and minimal undesirable side effects. Examples of chemical intoxicants are used to illustrate mechanisms in each stage of developing toxicity |
